The EU’s Plan to Fix the Internet

Source: Council of the European Union (video statements)

Did you know that there are EU regulations to preserve online safety and fairness? That may seem like it should be self-evident, but it’s definitely not. To date, Europe is the only region in the world that has regulation in place to make the internet safer, fairer and more transparent for its citizens.

This legislation consists of two acts: the Digital Services Act (DSA) and the Digital Markets Act (DMA). The DSA focuses on online safety and transparency, while the DMA focuses on big tech to promote fair competition.

These regulations provide protection for digital rights, and any infraction comes with significant financial penalties. The fines can vary from fixed penalties to a percentage of worldwide turnover – all to protect your digital rights.
